So she never knew he left the kids?! Where did he go??? This is slightly frustrating. And really, really interesting.

Frydeberg was not a farm, it was a large house under farm nr 10.
If Anderas Andreassen owned or leased the house I do not know.
There were 3 families living there.
Andreas was a carpenter at Fredrikstad Mecanical Workshop (building ships)

Look above the Houshold members;
Notes (for Maren Andreassen) X) Manden 18 år i Amerika "Her husband 18 years in America.

That correspond well With the 1883 emigration

Onsøy 1926:
Died April 30, buried mai 7. Laborers wife Maren Kristine Mathisen, divorced, b. 1852 5. months and 18 days born in Østre Fredrikstad living on Onsøy Nurcing home. Cause of death: Cancer in the liver, see lover part #11

There should be a probate after her where heirs are mentioned.

I Guess she never knew, probably the best for her.

Sad reading, about her and the children.

When studying genealogy one can wonder of all the coincidences that led to that one at all has been born.

Divorced? Was it assumed, since he had been gone so long? Did he make it back and file? So many questions.

Where do you suppose we should look for Herman Ludwig? I'm going to try to search both US outgoing and Norway incoming when I get home... I wonder if we can find where he disappeared to.

Here is a possible for Herman in the 1865 census. It would be an incredibly brave (or foolhardy?)venture to be taking babies over the ocean to an unknown fate in US. Perhaps he had relatives who already came here?

The Norwegian record of their departure gives their destination as Stephenson and there is a Stephenson in Michigan again in the U.P,

I thought the same thing about Herman Ludvig, Jackie. Many Norwegian fathers emigrated ahead of wife and children, to be unencumbered as they sought a livelihood and a place to live. Imagine a man alone trying to accomplish that, with those little ones in tow. That emigration record seems to express his determination. Don't know until we know, but one guess is he was not of a mind to lightly abandon his children. He already had a chance to do that - but didn't. Instead he undertook the additional expense of the children's passage, and the care of them as well.

Back at the beginning of this topic, the original poster mentioned that Ludvig left the children with a Halvor Gulbrandson of Stephenson Michigan. This is likely that person.

Before Severin & his brother were placed in the State School, they had been placed in a home belonging to Halver Gulbranson of Stephenson Michigan, which according to your information was the destination of the family.

In 1880 he was single and a farmer. That is only 3 years before the arrival of Ludvig and four chldren. Strange that he would leave the children with a bachelor farmer. Maybe he was married by theon?

A possible sister (Andrea age 18 from the 1865 family) in 1900 on Aale nedre (same farm as in 1865):

And making a slight leap, this is likely the baptism of Halver brother of Martin, same parents. Born in Akershus. Hard to imagine that they knew one another in Norway, the distance beween Akershus and Fredrikstad is at least 100 miles.
